Hong Sisters’ Big (UPDATED)

This one is definitely on my watchlist. This is another of the five dramas I’m anticipating for June. Big is set to air in KBS on June 4 after Love Rain in the Mon-Tues timeslot.

Big is the body-swapping Hong Sisters romantic comedy. The Hong sisters are the popular dynamic duo behind dramas like You’re Beautiful, My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, and Best Love — not to be confused with the other Hong siblings who are writing Lee Seung-gi and Ha Ji-won’s The King 2 Hearts.

The plot is about two male characters’ bodies changing overnight. The 18-year-old Kang Kyung-joon (Shin Won-ho) gets into an accident and his soul enters the body of 30-year old doctor, Seo Yoon-jae (Gong Yoo). But adult Yoon-jae has a fiancée (Lee Min-jung) who finds herself in a predicament when her fiancé suddenly isn’t her fiancé anymore. She gets pulled into a love triangle, as her “possessed” fiance falls in love with a younger woman, Jang Mari (Suzy). For more info, check out their official website.
